Very interesting concept similar to SCP lore. Intentionally hard to understand, since “anti-memetic” entities intentionally warp individuals memories and thought processes, the opposite of the original definition of memes, which are ideas that are meant to spread as far and as wide as possible. Also reminds me of how OCD can warp with your mind.

Interesting how messengers were forced to literally eat the letter on multiple occasions as a show of contempt for the sender. The many roles of servants and a castles staff are also interesting, such as the almsgiver who collected table scraps, old horses, and as much money as the lord would provide to give to the poor and sick each day

Kind of some lacking parts, such as the increasing weird sex stuff that gets crazier every book and the writing just felt a little bad in conversation between tazara and tleilax leader. Almost makes the tleilax leader seem like a complete idiot at least right now. Still it is interesting. I like the focus on love being an emotion that must be kept in check by Bene Gesssrit

Book is actually really interesting so far. I like the deeper look at the factions like bene tleilax. I just hope it doesn’t fall apart because I know the dune series kind of declines in quality according to many as it goes on.
